Working in Nottingham

What drylining work do you do in Nottingham?

Across Nottingham (NG1) it is mostly student accommodation, retail and leisure, healthcare and offices, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all delivered by one contractor. Nottingham is a major fit-out market, where packages are larger, programmes are tighter and sites are typically city centre buildings with restricted deliveries and limited storage. Every package is priced from the drawings and programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in Nottingham?

No. Nottingham is approximately 34 miles from our head office, a routine distance for our site teams. Travel is included within the package price, and on longer schemes the team remains on site for the duration.

Have you worked in Nottingham before?

Yes. Nottingham is one of the UK's largest student accommodation markets. These schemes typically call for a full drylining package delivered floor by floor, with rated walls and associated fire stopping provided under a single contract. If your scheme is near Island Quarter, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.

Does the type of building in Nottingham change how the package runs?

Yes. In Nottingham the key consideration is usually logistics. City centre sites typically have booked delivery slots, limited storage and restricted vertical access, so we sequence the package floor by floor and call off materials to suit, keeping the site clear and the programme on track.

Can you do the fire stopping in Nottingham as well as the drylining?

Yes. The passive fire work is carried out by RWS Contracts Ltd, the group's IFC certificated fire division, which shares the same office and management team. On schemes in Nottingham the rated walls, the ceilings and the fire stopping through them can be let as one package with one point of responsibility.

How quickly could you start a job in Nottingham?

Nottingham is approximately 34 miles from our Rotherham head office, so a site visit is normally arranged within one to two weeks. Start dates depend on current commitments, and we will always confirm a realistic date against your programme.
